  • Purpose - This study empirically analyzes the effects of food delivery service use frequency and the proportion of single-person households on the generation of MSW (Municipal Solid Waste). Additionally, the study analyzes MSW increase during the COVID-19 period. Design/methodology/approach - The study uses annual information on MSW and related characteristics of 228 Si, Gun, and Gu, which are administrative districts of Korea, from 2015 to 2020. Panel fixed effect model is employed for estimations. Findings - The study finds that food delivery and single-person household have significant effects only on recyclable and standard garbage bag MSW, respectively, not on all produce types of MSW. Additionally, it is estimated that, during the COVID-19 period, the increasing effect of food delivery is intensified while single-person households diminish its increasing effect. Lastly, the study confirms that the marginal effect on the increasing effect of MSW generation by the number of household members. Research implications or Originality - The estimated results are expected to provide useful information for the related policies. In particular, it is necessary to focus more on recyclable MSW concerning the developing delivery culture, and regarding changes in the family structure, focus more on the number of household members than single-person households.

  • 코로나19 의 여파로 생활 폐기물은 급속도로 늘어나는 반면 재활용 사업장의 여건은 개선되지 않고 있어 재활용 산업의 인력난 해결의 필요성이 떠오르고 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 딥러닝 모델을 활용하여 재활용 폐기물을 분류하는 방법을 제시한다. 딥러닝 모델은 최신 객체 탐지 모델인 YOLOv5를 사용하고, 객체 탐지 성능을 향상시키기 위해 실제 환경에서 수집된 학습용 데이터를 직접 라벨링하여 사용한다. 실험 결과 종류별 평균 0.69의 mAP50 스코어를 기록하였으며 이를 통해 딥러닝 모델을 활용하여 재활용 폐기물을 효율적으로 분류하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • This study investigated the types, forms, and origination of litter found along one hiking course in Moaksan Provincial Park, 'Jungin-ri Course'(entrance-ridge-valley-peak). In addition, a survey was conducted to understand hikers' litter control awareness in order to determine possible backcountry litter control measures. The following are the results of this study: 1. For the litter Sequency investigation, 199 recyclable pieces of litter were found on the mid-slope(61.6%), 89 by the entrance(27.6%), 19 in the valley(5.9%) and 16 on the peak(4.9%). A total of 323 pieces of litter were found. Paper materials were the most common, followed by plastic containers such as PET bottles and yogurt containers. Of particular interest, 288 papers and cans were found on the mid-slope(46.9%). By the entrance, more plastics and bottles were found. 2. There were 614 pieces of flammable litter collected and only 19 pieces of non-flammable. Most of the flammable litter, including snack pacts, plastic bags, processed lumber, cigarette butts, tissues, cigarette boxes, and fabric was found on the mid-slope. 3. Very little food waste was found throughout the whole site proving that the policy prohibiting hikers from cooking and eating at the designated sites has been effective. However, food waste is difficult to find because it naturally decays with time. 4. $X^2$-test was used to find different types of litter and their verified origination frequency. It was found that recyclable litter, and food waste took about 1%. In addition, recyclable litter, especially bottles, was found relatively frequently by the entrance. Flammable litter was found most often at the peak. 5. The questionnaire results showed that 48.2% of the respondents "shorten their hiking journey and purchase food outside the entrance" and 29.6% said that they "bring a packed meal from home". Only 8.2% said that they "cook something when an appropriate location is found". At the Jungin-ri course, a few hikers brought their own food to eat or cook, but most hikers purchased something to eat onsite. 6. The results of the question about having experience littering while hiking showed that 19.3% litter and 79.2% do not. Those that responded "yes" gave various reasons for littering. 63.6% claimed, "there are no designated trash containers". 15.9% said they litter subconsciously. Finally, 3.2% insist that they litter "because food naturally decomposes". 7. As a result of the overall satisfaction according to the Likert scale and the analysis with an average of 14 variables, it was found that the average "toxic litter control convenience" was 2.41 with very low satisfaction. Thus, the results indicate the importance of providing appropriate back country litter control facilities.

  • Each type of optical sheets in a LCD module experiences a characteristic behavior for thermal loading and unloading. During thermal cycling, a polymeric behavior is reversible and recyclable, depending on a material stiffness critically affected by temperature and time. Some critical issues on temperature- and time-dependent themomechanical deformation of the polymeric sheet are addressed by finite-element thermal results, followed by structural simulation results in this study.

  • Generally, polymeric foam has many advantages, such as light-weight, good impact absorptivity and adiabatic properties. Poly (ethylene terephthalate) PET has good recyclability and no toxicity. Hence, if we make foam of PET, it could be used for various applications such as heat insulating material, recyclable packing material, and food vessel. Thus these properties are attractive interests to manufacturers. (omitted)
